A PROFESSIONAL cleaner has taken to TikTok to share the five products she would never waste her money on – including one that makes your floors DIRTIER.
Anna shared a list of popular cleaning products that she would avoid in the future – including The Pink Stuff, toilet blocks and Swiffer mops.
Known online as @otaehciakuhkiw, the cleaning fan regularly shares tips and life updates with her 26,600 followers.
In a new TikTok reel, she said: “So I’m a professional cleaner and I wanted to do a list of cleaning items that you will never see in my home.
“Starting off strong, we’ve got the Swiffer Wet Jet, or any Swiffer products.
“They do very minimal surface cleaning and it actually creates more of a mess by putting a film on your floor.
“Plus, why would you want to spend so much money when you can just wash mop heads and save the planet in that way?
“Coming in at number two, we have Scrubbing Bubbles.
“It just looks pretty, it doesn’t do anything.
“Number three we have these toilet products. They actually trick you into making you think you don’t need to clean your toilet because it smells better.
“But you should actually be cleaning your toilet at least once every two weeks.
“Next we have any natural products. I’m all for like, ‘go environment’, but in terms of cleaning, this does nothing.
“There’s no disinfectant, there’s nothing actually done, they just don’t work.
“Next one, I think a lot of people are gonna hate. Anything The Pink Stuff related.
“There’s already products out there that are 100 per cent like The Pink Stuff.
“It just has perfume in it and it’s pretty, and that’s why people buy it.
“You can get Bar Keepers Friend for a fraction of the cost and it does the same exact thing.
“Last but not least we have Fabuloso or Pine Sol for that matter.
“They just smell good, they don’t actually do any cleaning again.”
Fans loved Anna’s honesty, with her video gaining more than 879,000 likes and 5.7 million views.
In the comments, the cleaning fan’s followers shared their reactions, with some defending their favourite products.
One wrote: “I was with you til you got to the Fabuloso… I have to draw the line there. I’ll sanitize and then use it for scent.”
Another said: “Me supporting the swiffer trash talk but then getting personally attacked by the rest of the video.”
A third wrote: “Okay but pinesol was my life saver against centipedes and spiders in my home in Hawaii.”
Someone else put: “You’re just listing all the products in my house. i need a list of go to products bc now I am lost.”
